Downtown YMCA
1447 Hampton Street

Join us for the YMCA of Columbia’s Race to Remember in Historic Downtown Columbia. This 5K Run/Walk and Kids 1-Mile Fun Run is open to all ages and abilities, making it a perfect event for families and individuals alike. It’s a chance to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country by carrying a flag or wearing dog tags during the race.

All proceeds from the event benefit the YMCA’s Annual Campaign, which provides financial assistance to those in need of the Y’s life-changing programs. A portion of the funds raised will go toward a YMCA Membership Scholarship for a Veteran, ensuring those who served can access the health and wellness programs they deserve.

This event is fun for the whole family, with a KIDS’ ZONE in the Washington Street UMC Parking Lot. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to support a meaningful cause while enjoying a day of fitness and community. Sign up today and help us honor our fallen heroes!
